    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The Fireman's Rule is a legal principle that states that firefighters cannot sue property owners for injuries sustained while responding to a fire. This rule is based on the idea that firefighters willingly assume the risks associated with their profession and therefore cannot hold property owners liable for any harm they may suffer. In other words, the department cannot go after the property owner for the firefighter getting hurt on his property. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

It is based on tradition, custom, usage, and the decisions made by courts over time.

    • Differences based on permanent physical or mantal impairment

    Correct Answer
    A. Industry standard
    Explanation
    Under EEOC regulations, employers are required to do what is reasonable to accommodate their employees' differences. This means that employers must make accommodations for employees' religious differences, gender-based differences, and differences based on permanent physical or mental impairment. However, they are not required to accommodate industry standards. Industry standards are typically set by the specific industry and are not considered personal differences that require accommodation. Therefore, the correct answer is "Industry standard."

Liability refers to the legal responsibility or obligation to compensate for any harm, damage, or loss caused to someone else. It typically involves a situation where someone is held accountable for their actions or negligence, resulting in legal consequences such as being sued or taken to court. Therefore, the statement "The term Liability is usually associated with being sued or taken to court by another person or group" is true.

While ASL is a valid form of communication, it is not included in the given options of interpersonal, oral, and written communication.

    Statutory refers to laws that are enacted by legislative bodies of government, such as Tax Codes and Voting laws. These laws are created and passed by the legislature and are written down in a formal manner. Statutory laws are different from common law, which is based on court decisions and precedents, and administrative law, which is created by administrative agencies.

    Correct Answer
    A. Internal Voice
    Explanation
    The internal voice refers to the thoughts and inner dialogue that a person has in their mind. It can be a major distraction for a listener because it diverts their attention away from the speaker and the message being conveyed. When the internal voice is active, the listener may be preoccupied with their own thoughts, making it difficult to fully focus and comprehend what is being said. This distraction can hinder effective communication and understanding between the speaker and the listener.

In the context of the given statement, it suggests that the meaning of a word can vary and be subject to individual interpretation. This is because different people may assign different meanings to the same word, and these meanings can also change over time and across different regions or generations. Therefore, the meaning of a word can be considered arbitrary, as it is not fixed or universally agreed upon.

Listening involves not only hearing the words but also actively engaging with the speaker's message.
